Q: 6. How to adjust volume on actual mic

A: At this time, we can not find an available manual for this item to guide you. In general for most wireless systems, there should be a level control option in the menu of the receiver where you would adjust the output signal up or down.

Q: 7. I have been told that the Shure PSM 300 Twin-Pack is capable of being used as a wireless speaker system like the SENNHEISER Wireless Speaker System 5 which consists of 1 Transmitter and 2 Receivers. Please let me know if that is doable. I have always wondered if it will damage the speakers or not thanks?

A: Yes, essentially you could use the PSM 300 Twin-Pack as a Wireless Speaker System. They are NOT meant for this purpose, but if the proper cabling is used, proper gain staging, and you have proper line of sight this should cause no harm to the speakers.

Q: 8. Is the transmitter and receiver one-to-one paired connection? In other words, can I add another receiver to get the same signal from the same transmitter?

A: The Shure PSM 900 Wireless Personal Monitor System can be expanded for an unlimited number of users by adding additional P9RA+ Wireless Bodypack Receivers that operate on the same frequency band as the transmitter. This particular system operates on the G6: 470 to 506 Hz band so you will need to use B&H # SHP9RAPEMG6. If you want the same headphones that are included with the original system, they are the Shure SE425 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones - Clear (B&H # SHSE425C.L).

Q: 9. is there something on the device that would make it introduce hiss into the transmission? I recently bought one. Tested it with 2 identical senheiser boom mics requiring 48v phantom. One sounds great, the other has a major hiss. Tried it on several other mics (57s/58s) and nothing. The "bad" mic works 100% when wired.

A: 1. Make sure to scan for the best frequencies to use before every session. 2. Try lowering the gain

Q: 10. could I use one transmitter with multiple receiver?, all on the same channelone director and 3 crew videographers

A: The transmitter unit will support an unlimited amount of receivers as long as they match the frequency of the transmitter. For this system, it would be the Shure P3R-H20. See B&H# SHP3RH20 or the P3RA-H20, B&H# SHP3RAH20
